WATER-COOLING DEVICE.

Application filed February 13, 1928. Serial No. 253,920.

My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a water cooling device adapted for installation in a dwelling or other similar building in which the water pipes are 5 extended in exposed condition in the base ment or other heated compartment. When the Water is drawn from the'faucet at the service end of the pipes in such an installation the water is at a temperature substantially the temperature of the basement or.

compartment in which the exposed pipes are extended, and in order to procure cool water it is necessary that considerable water be run off from the servlce end prior tousing. This condition exists at all seasons of the year,

and particularly in the wintertime, when the basement is heated by the furnace or other heating plant installed therein.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a container which may be embedded in the cool earth beneath the floor of the basement or compartment, so that a quantity of water will'be provided which willbe maintained at a low temperature so that when the water is led off at theservice end, the cool water is obtained quite quickly, the delivery pipe passing directly from the cooler to the service end and faucet.

It is another object of the invention to coil projecting downwardly therefrom.

and arrangement of parts hereinafter de-' scribed and claimed.

vThe invention will be best understood by a reference to the accompanying drawings which form a part'of this specification and in which,

Fig. 1 is a central vertical sectional view of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

provide a container ofthis class having a Another object of the invention is the pro-I In the drawings I have illustrated the invention mounted in an opening 7 formed in the earth 8 and the concrete floor 9. Positioned in this opening is a container 10 which is provided on its periphery with outwardly projecting pointed ribs 11, as shown in Fig. 2, these ribs or pointed periphery facilitating radiation, and consequently increasing the efficiency of the container 10 as a cooler. A cap 12 issecured to the lower end of the container 10 and provided'with'a threaded neck 13, projecting outwardly therefrom, which is provided with a passage communicating with the interior thereof. Connected in com- "munication with the passage in the neck 13 by the coupling ltis a coil 15 which is connected to the pipe 16 which is, in turn, connected to the delivery pipe 17 which extends to the faucet orservice end thereof. Mounted on the upper end of the container 10 is a cap 18, leading into which is the pipe 19 connected with the source of water supply. In

order to support the tanklO in elevated position so that it will not rest upon the coil 15, I have provided a pair of cooperating members 20 and 21, the ends of which are angularly turned and adapted to lie in engagement with each other and secured together by means of the bolts 22. j v

These outwardly projecting ends form supporting arms which. engage the'concretefloor 9 and the upper surface of'the embracing portion of'the members 20 and 21 will engage the lower-edge of the cap 18, thus affording a support for, the container 10. j

A device constructed and installed in the manner indicated'is one which proves quite eflicient for the purposes intended, and affordsa quick delivery of cold water at the service end of the pipe, while at the same time, economizing on the consumption of water, in that, in order to procure cold water,

it is not necessary to run off such a quantity. It'is believed evident that the supporting means isone which may be easily and quickly installed, thus permitting an economical ins stallation of the device.-

While I have illustrated and preferred form of-my invention, I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details of structure shown, hut-desire to avail myself of suchvariations and modifications as come within thescope of the appended claim.
